ATBWSTBP Chapter 31
by VolareChapter 31: Moving In Across the Hall
Xu Jiahao bent down and picked up the room card that Jin Mo had dropped.
“Xiao Gong, tell me the details.”
Gong Min thought for a moment, then nodded. “Then I’ll start from the beginning.”
Xu Jiahao nodded slightly.
“About six months ago, when I first started working here, I received a call. He said his last name was Bai and carefully inquired about the details of our sanatorium. I was a newbie at the time, so I was naturally very diligent in answering the guest’s questions.”
“The guest asked me if we could add another door to our suite.”
“So I asked the supervisor, and she said that if the guest booked the room for a long time, it would be possible!”
“The guest said he wanted to book it for a year, so the supervisor naturally agreed.”
“The guest then made a request, saying that after he checked in, he would need someone to deliver meals and clothes to him at regular times, and no one would be allowed to enter the room to disturb him without permission!”
“After discussion, the supervisor agreed, and a small window that could be opened and closed was installed on the room’s window.”
“After the contract was signed, the guest never came to check in, which we all found strange. Until three months ago, on May 7th, the guest called me and asked me to arrange a car to pick him up at Yucheng Wharf.”
“Actually, I only saw him twice!”
“Once when I took him to the room, and once when he left!”
Gong Min frowned slightly as she said this.
“Speaking of which, it’s really strange!”
“What’s strange?” Jin Mo blurted out.
“When the guest arrived, he called me Miss Gong, but when he left, he didn’t seem to know my surname and just said ‘Hello’.”
Gong Min shook her head as she spoke.
“Maybe it was because more than two months had passed, and he forgot my surname. That’s also possible!”
Xu Jiahao’s expression changed slightly after hearing this, and he quietly raised his eyebrows to look at Jin Mo.
Jin Mo was still a bit dazed, not yet recovered from the blow that his brother was no longer here. Naturally, he didn’t notice anything wrong with what Gong Min said.
“When did he leave? Did he say anything before he left?” Xu Jiahao turned to look at Gong Min and asked.
“He left two weeks ago, at night. I was on duty that day. He didn’t say anything before he left. Because his suite was booked for a year, and it was previously agreed that no one was allowed to enter the room whether he was there or not, it has been kept as is.”
“Doesn’t anyone clean it?” Xu Jiahao was a little surprised. If someone lived there for more than two months without cleaning, wouldn’t it be very dirty?
“Haha, no need. Each room here has a robot. If you need to clean, just press the switch yourself!” Gong Min said with a smile.
“So, the room has been kept the same since he left?”
“Yes! But don’t go in during the day, go in at night, and don’t let anyone find out!” Gong Min covered her mouth and said in a low voice, “I specially arranged your room across from your brother’s room!”
“Okay, thanks!”
“You’re welcome. Shall I take you there now?”
“Okay!” Xu Jiahao nodded.
Xu Jiahao dragged the somewhat dejected Jin Mo, followed Gong Min, passed through a small path in the woods, and entered a building in the back.
The decoration inside the building was very elegant and quiet. While waiting for the elevator, they didn’t encounter a single person.
Gong Min sent the two to the entrance on the third floor and left.
Jin Mo stood at the door, staring at the closed door across the hall, his eyes red.
“Let’s go, we’ll go again at night!” Xu Jiahao opened the door and pulled Jin Mo inside.
The suite was very large, like a bed and breakfast, especially the living room, which had a huge enclosed balcony with a nice view.
Xu Jiahao looked around. There were only two rooms and two beds.
“No, we have to tell Xiao Feiwu and the others not to come. There’s not enough space!”
As he spoke, he took out his phone and sent a message to Xiao Feiwu.
Jin Mo had no interest in admiring the scenery or observing the room’s layout. He just sat on the sofa in the living room, not saying a word.
He thought he would be able to see Jin Baiyan today, but he was disappointed again!
He was like a punctured ball, unable to muster any energy!
“Sigh, another step too late!” He sighed heavily and leaned back on the sofa.
Xu Jiahao had already walked around the suite and heard Jin Mo’s sighs, so he walked over.
“You should have expected this!” He sat down on the sofa opposite Jin Mo, picked up a bottle of water on the table, looked at it to make sure there was nothing suspicious, and then twisted off the cap and took a sip.
Jin Mo raised his eyes slightly and stared at Xu Jiahao for a while.
Yes, he should have expected it. How could his brother, who had been dragging him for three months, let him find him so easily?
Especially let him find him in a sanatorium!
“How could your brother let you see him at his most pathetic!” Xu Jiahao put down the water in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the balcony. “If he’s still in the sanatorium, it must be because his own problems haven’t been resolved yet, and his personalities haven’t been sorted out. At that time, it must be the appearance he least wants you to see!”
Jin Mo put his hand on his forehead and rubbed his aching head.
“Yes, my brother just wants to show his best side, so he forcefully split his own evil thoughts and persistence. How could he let me see him when he’s sick!” Jin Mo looked up, his eyes fixed on the chandelier above his head, and said softly.
“By the way, Xiao Feiwu is still asking, should he come over too?” Xu Jiahao opened WeChat, looked at the messages in the small team group, and asked.
“Forget it, let them go back to the hotel and wait. Anyway, my brother isn’t here. After I get the clues, I’ll go back and talk about it!”
“Okay!”
It was still early, and they hadn’t slept well the night before. In order to have energy to work at night, the two went back to their rooms to rest.
Jin Mo lay in bed, his head was very chaotic, and he couldn’t calm down.
He sat up abruptly, took out the letter left by Jin Baiyan, and read it several times. Then he sat at the table, took out a pen from his pocket, and began to reply to his brother’s every sentence.
— Brother, no matter what you do, I don’t blame you, because these are all my own fault. It’s all my fault that made you like this. I’m the one who should say sorry.
–However, brother, you also have to take some responsibility, because I’m so willful because you spoiled me! Hehe! Can you continue to spoil me in the future!
–Brother, no matter what the road ahead is like, don’t worry, I will try my best to catch up with you and walk with you! Don’t be afraid! Wait for me!
–Brother, I don’t feel disgusted, and I don’t think you’re perverted. On the contrary, I feel very happy! Let me tell you quietly, I actually have a very strong possessive desire for you too.
–I remember once, a girl accidentally bumped into you, and at that time I wanted to find a protective cover to cover you up and prevent others from having the opportunity to touch you! Hehe, I’m actually a little perverted too, right! That’s great, two perverts are a perfect match!
–I have to find you! I’m not just a little interested in you, I’m very interested! Let me secretly tell you again, you take my photos to take a bath, and I take your photos to sleep, hehe, you understand what I mean! Blushing and heartbeat!
–Brother, you thought I ignored you for those three years, I’m telling you, no. I went back to see you every weekend, from when you got home until you turned off the lights and went to sleep, I hid under a camphor tree in the back garden. If you don’t believe me, I’ll send you the photos later. I took a lot of photos! Although most of them look the same, the dates are different.
……
As Jin Mo wrote, a smile quietly crept up on the corner of his mouth!
Looking at the letter with his replies in his hand, he had the feeling of talking to his brother across time and space.
He even had the illusion that his brother was sitting across from him, watching him reply to the letter!
